“In Italy food is always served with wine and my belief is that wine should ideally be an extension of the plate as an accompaniment to what you are eating. So here at Taormina, we have assembled a sampling of the best wines to match the flavors and textures of our menu. Please let us know if you have any questions so that we may best find something that suits your palate. What wine will you be ordering with your meal? Salut!” - Roberto Viernes, Master Sommelier
